IPL: Best match for each of the current team 

#6 Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders 2014

It was the year 2014. The 7th edition of the Indian Premier league was just 18 matches old. Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals were facing each other for the first time in the season. Little did they know that this match was going to create history in the Vivo IPL.

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bat first. Vinay Kumar gave an early blow to the Royals as he took the wicket of Karun Nair in the 3rd over itself. After that, it was Sanju Samson and Ajinkya Rahane who took the charge in the middle.

After losing Samson, it was Ajinkya Rahane lead the batting line-up from the front and took the team to a defending total of 152-5 in 20 overs. Chasing 153, Kane Richardson got Manvinder Bisla out.

Just like Ajinkya Rahane, it was Gautam Gambhir's 45 runs' knock kept the Knight Riders in the game. After all these efforts, Kolkata still needed 12 runs of the last over with Shakib on strike. After 5 dramatic balls with the first ball going for a boundary. 3 runs were still required off the last ball. Shakib took a couple and the match was tied.

It was time for a super over. KKR scored 11 runs in the super over with the 4th ball going for a six. But the one thing to be noticed was that Steve Smith pushed all his fielders way back since he knew that if the super over got tied then the result will be given on the basis of boundaries. So a couple of runs couldn't do what a boundary will.

RR needed to pick up 12 runs in the last over to win the match but they also managed just 11 in the over. The super over also tied in this match! Yes, you read that right, super over also tied in this match! But due to a higher boundary count, the match went the Royals way and the won it in style. All thanks to Steve Smith's brilliant presence of mind that helped them clinch the victory.
